And even if there are players online, often finding party members your character can associate with due to religion or alignment is awfully difficult. Quite a number of characters cannot knowingly work with those of dark faiths, yet quite a few rogue types openly worship dark deities, or are shady enough to reasonably assume they do.

That's all the hints I am giving :dance:
Just proactively confirming this isn't a bug, and the system is working as intended. May change in the future, but I'm very happy with where it's at for now.

Give Chests an Intimidate DC check!! :mrgreen:

Are there any summons that can open locks? Don't see why my angel can't do it for me.

I think there are a number of summons that have open lock skill points, the problem is there's no way for the summoner to issue an "open lock" command to a summon. The only way(that I know of) to command a summon to interact with objects is with the use of the 'Control Henchman' button, which defaults the summon into one course of action: attack. Or in the case of containers, smash.

V (voice commands)->D (duties/tasks)-> can't remember.
Might be V->E. Not sure, one of the V commands.
Should direct them to try open, if can't bash.

You can also use V commands to get them to sneak.

Oh jeez, I never even looked there. It's V (voice commands)->D (duties/tasks)-> W pick lock.

I'll go play with this when I get a chance.

** Post play edit ** - I'm struggling to find a summon that has open locks skill, heh. I tested with a summon that had zero points... all that happened when I highlighted the chest and issued the voice command to 'pick lock' was the summon attacking the chest. I'll try again later with different summons.

After summoning at least 6 greater planer creatures, and 6 more lessers, the only one that I managed to find that had any open locks investments was the Coure. Which is a very small fairy looking thing, and otherwise mechanically weak. RP value... sure? :? I'm too lazy to drag one to a chest and try, so, there ya go.

Kinda veering off topic here, but...

I think the succubus or the eerinyes, when in woman form, has OL.

Its been a mission of mine to find a named summon with OL on one of my characters. Im not holding my breath.

Just an advance warning that in the future you'll be able to roll a 1 when attempting this...
